As there is 5 more girls than boys and b is the number of boys, the expression b + 5 represents the number of girls. 
total there are 27 childrens
b + (b+5) = 27
b + b + 5 = 27
2b = 27 -5 
b =22 / 2
b =11
so the number of boys there are 11 and girls are 11 + 5 = 16 
and total is 16 + 11 = 27

<h3>Answer:   7 goes in the blank space</h3>

The range of values for x is 2 < x < 7

========================================

Explanation:

The hinge theorem says that the larger the opposite side is, the larger the angle will be.

AD = 11, DC = 8

Since AD > DC, this means angle ABD > angle DBC.

--------

angle ABD > angle DBC

20 > 4x-8

20+8 > 4x-8+8 ... add 8 to both sides

28 > 4x

4x < 28 ... flip both sides and the inequality sign

4x/4 < 28/4 ... divide both sides by 4

x < 7

--------

At the same time, the angle 4x-8 cannot be 0 or negative.

So we say 4x-8 > 0. Let's solve this for x.

4x-8 > 0

4x-8+8 > 0+8 ... add 8 to both sides

4x > 8

4x/4 > 8/4 ... divide both sides by 4

x > 2

2 < x ... flip both sides and the inequality sign

--------

We have 2 < x and x < 7. Both of these combine to the compound inequality 2 < x < 7

We can pick any value between 2 and 7 as long as we dont pick x = 2 or we dont pick x = 7.

Find an equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions.<br> Through (-3, -4); slope -5/2
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

y = - 5/2x - 23/2

Step-by-step explanation:

b = y - (slope)(x)

b = -4 - (-5/2)(-3)

b = -4 - 15/2 = - 23/2

y = -5/2x - 23/2
